Harley Davidson XL 1200R Sportster Roadster (2007 – 2008)

The Harley-Davidson XL 1200R Sportster Roadster is a potent street fighter that’s been unleashed for 2007. At its heart lies the rubber-mounted 1200cc Evolution engine, now equipped with electronic fuel injection to further enhance its already impressive performance.

The addition of new gauges and longer handlebar wires make customization easier than ever, while the polished handlebar proudly declares this bike’s intentions. The riding experience is also refined, with reduced brake lever effort (14%) and improved clutch lever effort (8%).

Standard features include dual front disc brakes and Silver, 13-spoke Cast Aluminum wheels, backed up by the option of Chrome, Laced Steel wheels for a unique look. With seven solid color choices available, the XL 1200R Sportster Roadster is ready to carve its own path on the open road with authority and style.
